Anyone know if there is a Gyrocopter for FSX?

Seems there was interest back in 2012 in this thread http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/70037-Autogyro-s-in-FSX-Recommendations but haven't been able to find anything more recent.

Would really like to give one a try.

That's the old FS9 one. This is the one (https://goldenagesimulations.com/product/pitcairn-autogiro/) you want.

Yeah, that Golden Age Simulations Pitcairn is a beauty. Absolutely value for money!

One of the few payware models i bought that that I still use all the time. Can't beat it for going low and slow to explore new scenery.

There's a version of the late, great Ken Wallis' "Little Nellie" available for FSX (originally modeled for FS9) here (https://www.fs-freeware.net/downloads/download/54-helicopter/1464-fsx-autogyro.html). Kinda basic in some ways, but a spritely little flyer.

I would LOVE to see an FSX version of this rotary wing beauty...

I've seen that one modeled for X-Plane but nothing microsoft based.. Personally i much prefer the old Pitcairn anyway though..

I did look at the Pitcairn. No doubt it is excellently modelled like all GAS craft, but it just doesn't grab my fancy. Just a personal thing.

For Gyrocopters I much prefer the more common pusher style, like the Aerotrek ELA G8. Soooo, as there doesn't seem to be any Gyrocopters specifically on the FSX market, I think I will buy the TAF Sling 2 package for the RAF 200 and the Magni M24. Thanks form all the comments guys, appreciate them. :)
